FnuITFUL OF INonEAsED COOP
From Day to Day-A large Crowd present
last night, and tho Exercises Interesting
and Attended with good Results. i,
Ministers take Part In. them.

The work Of Major Camp for the cause
Of temperance in Wheeling is conducted
without any great flourish OF trumpots,
butt ia doing good, aud the fruits are seen
not only In the reform Of drinking men
who Sign the pledge, but Increasingly
every day in the arousing Of temperance
people and church people who have not
beforo evlnced any interest in tho work.
Major Campo meetings at the Capital
rink each night grow in attendance and
in tho earnest spirit which charactsrizes
them. Last nights meeting was in many
respecta the beat and moat interesting yet
held. The rink was we'll filled, and those
present evinced very plainly that they
were not there from mere idle curiosity.
The Majors talk was to young men, and
It was one which impressed and affected
them deeply. His characteristic oloquence
brings tears and laughter alternately, as
he tells pathetic story OF the sad effects
Of intemperance, and then makes q ca uB.
tic application in homely language or tis.
ure that drives the nail straight home to
his hearers. =. "a IL.
For instance, In a talk to church people,
no said: "You good people, II you can't
take man and make an angel out OF him
In Ave hours, don't want anything to do
with him." The Major takes different
view OF 1t. II no can reform man thor.
oughly and permanently, his object is &C.
complished. Buff not, he then aims to
do him all the good no can, anyhow. His
work has already met with results which
will DO felt long aitor he leaves, and at
present all the indications give reason ioI
the hope that bis leaving will DO far in the
future. go .-,ll i l22l3=,l.s
Rsv. MI: Skinner, pastor Of Wayman
chapel, A. NJ. E. church, made IN address
after the Majors last night, which wsl
very earnest, eloquent and practical. He
was frequently and loudly applaudod.
Rev. NJ. F. Dryden followed with brie
but forcible exortatien. This evening
there will be other good speakers present
besides Major Camp. ~
